Update 6:

Trading Futures with Options Data

What is Open Interest?
Open Interest is the total number of outstanding contracts that are held by market participants at the end of the day.

It can also be defined as the total number of futures contracts or option contracts that have not yet been exercised (squared off), expired, or fulfilled by delivery.

Open interest applies primarily to the futures market. Open interest, or the total number of open contracts on a security, is often used to confirm trends and trend reversals for futures and options contracts.

Open interest measures the flow of money into the futures market. For each seller of a futures contract there must be a buyer of that contract. Thus a seller and a buyer combine to create only one contract.

Therefore, to determine the total open interest for any given market we need only to know the totals from one side or the other, buyers or sellers, not the sum of both.

The open interest position that is reported each day represents the increase or decrease in the number of contracts for that day, and it is shown as a positive or negative number.


How to calculate Open Interest?
Each trade completed on the exchange has an impact upon the level of open interest for that day.

For example, if both parties to the trade are initiating a new position ( one new buyer and one new seller), open interest will increase by one contract.

If both traders are closing an existing or old position ( one old buyer and one old seller) open interest will decline by one contract.

The third and final possibility is one old trader passing off his position to a new trader ( one old buyer sells to one new buyer). In this case the open interest will not change.



Benefits of monitoring open interest?
By monitoring the changes in the open interest figures at the end of each trading day, some conclusions about the day’s activity can be drawn.

Increasing open interest means that new money is flowing into the marketplace. The result will be that the present trend ( up, down or sideways) will continue.

Declining open interest means that the market is liquidating and implies that the prevailing price trend is coming to an end. A knowledge of open interest can prove useful toward the end of major market moves.

A leveling off of open interest following a sustained price advance is often an early warning of the end to an uptrending or bull market.



Open Interest - A confirming indicator?
An increase in open interest along with an increase in price is said to confirm an upward trend. Similarly, an increase in open interest along with a decrease in price confirms a downward trend. An increase or decrease in prices while open interest remains flat or declining may indicate a possible trend reversal.

The relationship between the prevailing price trend and open interest can be summarized by the following table.




Twist....?
Now the twist is that, we dont use futures data to trade futures but options data.
like, if lot of traders showing interest in buying calls then it interprets that market has tendency to rise in coming time and vice versa for puts
So i think its better to analyse options data to predict market trend of nifty futures
For this purpose, here an excel sheet which automatically downloads option data from NSE website and interprets data in easy form to trader.

Here's screenshot:

If you find it useful, then I will upload 2 more excel files in this series...

Dear Ajit

Thanks for posting the 2 XLsheets in # 12 & 13.

I hope that the two excel files based on macros, when run, will not clash among themselves or with other excel file (based on macros) that is already running. Have you ever run these 2 XL sheets side by side.

Further, I am using a real time data downloading software (DDS) for my charting purpose and I can not copy/paste any data or paragraph, in excel or word till the moment DDS is running. Otherwise it will paste only, the data DDS is copying and transferring to charting software.

Welcome

Both excel sheets won't clash with each other but still they will become extreme slow if run together or rather hang....

Have you ever run these 2 XL sheets side by side.
No, I never !

Further, I am using a real time data downloading software (DDS) for my charting purpose and I can not copy/paste any data or paragraph, in excel or word till the moment DDS is running. Otherwise it will paste only, the data DDS is copying and transferring to charting software.
I too use DDE plugin for Data feed thats why I use some external environment like Virtual PC for running such excel sheets
